[Growwine] A wine for Canada's 2010 Olympics

[Ryan Daum]

That link isn't working for me.

But, if I were to nominate a single wine for the Olympics, I'd use the
following criterion:

1. It should be from B.C. since the games are hosted in Vancouver.
2. It should be something unique, and not be trying to copy/imitate
French or other new world wines.  Let's not be pretentious.
3. It should make a statement, be powerful.
4. It should be a quality wine.

So I'm going to suggest the Quail's Gate Old Vines Foch.  The
unfiltered reserve version I tried some years ago that turned the
inside of my face purple and left crazy lees on the bottom of the
decanter.  That ought to scare the wine critics.  

But instead, I bet you'll see Osoyoos Laroose or something else that
will remind the world that Canada is still an ex-colony trying to
impress the mother country.
